  • Not only does Liz from @teachbetweenthelines understand comfort food, but she is also an inspiring teacher. 🍎 I love how she keeps me laughing; I can only imagine how her students must cherish her.

  • A goal of mine is to connect grammar lessons to literature and writing. I just updated this types of sentences unit to reflect that goal. After identifying simple, compound, complex, and compound-complex sentences, students will discover how types of sentences influence their reading and writing. ✍️ Link in my profile! #grammarlessons #instagoodteachers #elatoday #writinglessons #iteachninth #secondaryela #languagearts #languageartsteacher #englishteacher #grammar

  • Here in the States, a certain L-word pertaining to teachers has been thrown around this week. You know, I prefer this one, the one that deals with LOVE. 💕 I love teaching, and I love what education brings to people. I know my life would be immensely different had I not taken an education seriously. So this Valentine’s Day, remember that some words are stronger than others and that we teachers matter today and every day. #teachersofinsta #iteachhighschoolenglish #iteachhighschoolela #teachingmatters #educationmatters #coffeemugs #coffeeholic #lword
